"minor extent of" is correct and can be used in written English.
For example, "The changes we are seeing in the economy are of a minor extent, but still significant."
In contrast, for 223Ra, a minor extent of linear plasmid DNA was preserved.
In contrast to 188Re and 99mTc, after 223Ra treatment, a minor extent of DSB was preserved despite DMSO presence.
It also contains evidence of a minor extent of shock metamorphism, which indicates that the asteroid has been exposed to elevated temperatures during the accretion process (Scott et al. 1992).
Although we cannot fully exclude the risk of coding inaccuracies, even after careful screening of medical records, differential misclassification is unlikely, and the conceivably minor extent of non-differential misclassification presumably had a minor impact on reported annual incidence rates (Jurek et al. 2005).
The chemical functionalization led to two interesting consequences: i) Even a relatively minor extent of functionalization dramatically altered the chemical selectivity of the membrane, and ii) the permeability of the membrane was greatly enhanced, which plausibly arose from the less ordered stacking of the functionalized graphene sheets as compared to the pristine ones.
Both crystallizations via direct cooling to 70°C (where only PES crystallized) and direct cooling to 40°C (where two components crystallized simultaneously) followed by heating to 68°C (to melt PEO crystals) created a high extent of interfibrillar segregation coupled with a minor extent of interlamellar incorporation of amorphous PEO.
Initial anisotropy (initial orientation) has a strong influence on the evolution of crystallographic orientation changes and also, to a minor extent, on the sample shape during compression.
These results might suggest that the photoreceptor degeneration observed in Cx3cr1 −/− mice is mainly due to the toxicity of the infiltrating monocytes, and only to a minor extent to the accumulation of resident Mϕ and MCs that still accumulate to some extent in Ccl2/Ccr2 deficient and monocyte-depleted Cx3cr1 −/− mice.
Likewise, Jacques et al. (2010b) observed that C-benz[ a]pyrene (BP) was extensively metabolized by pig ear skin microsomes and similarly by pig ear skin explant short-term cultures, as most abundant metabolites to the glucuronides of the primary oxidative metabolites, the hydrox-BPs, and to a minor extent to the glucuronides of the BP-diols.
The second and third measures were of minor extent to locally reduce the occurring seepage water.
Up to now it has been believed that MTP contributes only to a minor extent to the lipidation of chylomicrons within the Golgi [ 45] but our data clearly indicate that a final delivery of TAG to the chylomicrons occurs in the Golgi and that several proteins at the trans-Golgi are needed for an appropriate maturation process of chylomicrons [ 46].
